" Belongs to the adansoni-turris group, distinguished by 

 the turrited shape, relatively small last whorl and the sharp 

 sculpture/ 7 Described from a specimen in the Berlin Museum 

 (fig. 23). Others received from the same source differ, fig. 

 24 representing a long, lean shell, weakly decussate on the 

 middle whorls and upper part of the last, brown-yellow with 

 brown-red streaks, narrow and flame-like above, the widening 

 to broad spots, covering the ground-color on the last two
